My research aim is to carry out spatial epidemiological studies with the
development of spatio-temporal visualisation and analytical methods of
the COVID-19 epidemic, and to assess the social impact of this epidemic
from a health geography perspective. At present, we have released a web-based
3D spatio-temporal map of the COVID-19 epidemic that reveals how the disease
has spread and where it has persisted. In addition, we are conducting research
on geographical differences in the impact of the epidemic on various health
outcomes and health behaviours such as physical activity based on social
surveys and data analysis with human mobility information. Later, when
time permits, I would like to examine the long-term historical relationship
between infectious diseases and the urban environment, including analytical
studies of the accumulated historical records of past pandemics in the
modern period in Japan. |
